16、gest organ. You have three layers (层) of skin which act as a barrier against disease, poisons and the suns harmful rays. The functions of your skin are also very complex: it keeps you warm or cool; it prevents your body from losing too much water; it is where you feel cold, heat or pain and it gives

17、 you your sense of touch. So as you can imagine, if your skin gets burned it can be very serious. First aid is a very important first step in the treatment of burns. Causes of burnsYou can get burned by a variety of things: hot liquids, steam, fire, radiation (by being close to high heat or fire, et

18、c. ), the sun, electricity or chemicals. Types of burnsThere are three types of burns. Burns are called first, second or third degree burns, depending on which layers of the skin are burned.

How would you solve this dilemma (困境)? Most p

26、eople would probably call an Uber or perhaps ask a friend or family member for a ride. But not this Indiana woman. Kasia Shelton from Muncie has been arrested for stealing a vehicle from a local dealership (经销商). According to police reports, the 20-year-old used the 2013 Kia Optima to drive to a job

27、 interview in Indianapolis. The auto theft happened on Monday, October 9. On the day, Shelton arrived at RDI Motors in Muncie and asked an employee to see a certain 2013 Kia Optima. He showed the car to Shelton and we can only assume he talked in length about its great condition for its age, the fea

28、tures, and the reliability. The employee later told the police that Shelton seemed interested in the car and asked to take it for a test drive. But while he was talking to her and preparing the car for a drive, the dealerships telephone kept ringing and ringing. He said that he had to excuse himself

29、 constantly to go pick up the phone, yet there was never anybody on the other end of the line. The last time the phone rang was just as the employee had gotten the car ready for Shelton to take it for a test drive. When he got back from the phone, Shelton and the Kia were gone. The RDI employee imme

30、diately called the Muncie Police Department. The police then began using the Flock camera surveillance system (监控系统) in an attempt to spot the car. A while later, they saw the car again, this time returning to Muncie. After that, the cameras lost the car, but we now know that Shelton drove it back t

31、o RDI Motors. Finding out wasnt too difficult. The police said they were able to connect the car to Shelton because she had filled out an online form on RDI Motors website.When the police later showed up at Sheltons door, she seemed confused and thought the officers were pulling off some kind of a j

32、oke. She genuinely didnt seem to understand what she was getting arrested for. After all, she returned the Kia to the dealership once she was done with her trip. She didnt plan to keep it, so whats the big deal? Whether she understood the reason why or not, Shelton was arrested. She has been charged

33、 with auto theft, which could land her in prison for up to two and a half years.41Why was Shelton arrested?ABecause she got a job interview.BBecause she didnt call an Uber.CBecause she stole a car.DBecause she drove a 2013 Kia Optima.42What was the attitude of the employee when introducing the 2013

35、 system.BThrough the interview company.CBy inquiring RDI motors employees.DThrough the personal information she left on the site.45The underlined part “whats the big deal?” in Paragraph 4 can be understood as _.ADont you think thats the reason you arrest me?BIs this small thing worth an arrest?CIs t

36、his a deal?DDo you think I should buy the car?Is it possible to make machines think like humans? This is one question in research in the field of Artificial Intelligence, or “AI” To think like a human, it involves feelings, morality, hopes, and dreams. Humans are capable of making decisions by thems

37、elves without input from others, and they can learn from experience. In addition, humans are able to create things from their own inspiration for their own pleasure. The question is whether machines can ever really think in all these aspects. The idea of a computer that is all-powerful and can think

38、 and make decisions for itself terrifies many people. In some films, AI even decides that all humans must be killed. Many people are also concerned that AI will be used to replace humans.Yet others are comforted by the thought of AI. Maybe with AI. robots can be made to replace loved ones who have d

39、ied. Today, the creation of an all-powerful computer capable of human thought is still in progress. We have companion (陪伴) robots, and it is likely that they will grow more important in our lives as time goes by. However, the need for such robots does not seem to be as critical as our need for intel

40、ligent machines that can solve problems by learning from their observations and experience.For example, AI is already being used with great success in Internet search engines and as a personal assistant in our smartphones. It learns from our habits to help us find what we want and like. AI is also u

41、sed to diagnose (诊断) problems and suggest solutions. Researchers are also experimenting with the use of AI in driverless cars which can sense their surroundings and decide on the best way to reach a destination. It is also being used in education, particularly in online courses. Furthermore, industr

42、ies that use robots for repetitive or dangerous work often turn to AI to manage these electronic workers. In addition, virtual assistants are also being used in some homes today. In the near future, it is likely that AI will be used to manage smart homes and handle an even greater variety of tasks s

43、uch as setting out favourite clothes and helping us with our personal grooming (梳妆). The AI of today has already proven its superiority to humans in many areas. Do you think that we can create a robot that thinks like a human or one that is even more intelligent? If so, is there truly a difference b

44、etween AI and a human?46What can we learn from Paragraphs 1 and 2?AWe already have all-powerful computers with the power of human thought.BOne day the AI will decide on its own to wipe out humans.CRobots with AI have the potential to replace our loved ones.DIn contrast, humans need artificial intell

45、igence machines to help us solve problems rather than companion robots.47What does the underlined part in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A AI will eventually be used to manage workers.BAI is often used to manage robots on production lines.CIndustrial robots are completely different from electronic worker

46、s.DIndustrial robots often turn to AI.48What could be inferred from Paragraph 3 about AI?ASmartphones already have AI technology.B AI technology for driverless cars is already mature.C AI has been being used to mange smart homes.DArtificial intelligence has proved its superiority over humanity in all fields.49What is the authors attitude towards AI?AShort-sighted.BWait-and-see.COptimistic.DSkeptical.50What makes the best title for the passage?A AI Thinks Like HumansBAI RobotsCAI and
